Go hiking in the Mine no Ura area where the Yamadera temple has deep roots. Experience the mystery of the wooden torii gate which stands amongst naturally formed rock surfaces. Meditating as you place your hands on the bare rock allows you to get in touch with your heart and body and be set free from ordinary life. Listening to the sounds of the wind and birds aids in relaxation. Participants gather at the foot of Yamadera near the entrance to the mountain climbing trail at 10:30 a.m. Reservations are required two days in advance by 6:00 p.m. through the website, however, it may be possible to join the day before if the guide is available to make arrangements. (In this case, please call for confirmation).
